Tuxedo MR6.5K-38 — 6,500 lb Mid-Rise Portable Scissor Lift
The Tuxedo MR6.5K-38 is a 6,500 lb portable mid-rise scissor lift with a 38 in runway-style platform — wider between the runways than a single-arm scissor deck, giving techs room to work brakes, tires, and general underbody service without a permanent installation.
A dolly-mounted power unit rolls with the lift, and load-bearing flip-up ramp extensions add drive-on length when needed and fold away for a smaller footprint otherwise. A single-point pneumatic lock release engages the safety locks, and rubber spacer blocks are included standard for protecting vehicle contact points.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Shops that want a wider, runway-style mid-rise platform instead of a narrow single-scissor deck
- ✅ Facilities needing portable lifting without a bolted-down two-post install
- ✅ Techs doing brake, tire, and underbody work at a comfortable 38 in working height
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Loads over 6,500 lb
- ❌ Shops needing the full 48+ in lift height of the higher-rise MR6K-48X

What Makes the MR6.5K-38 Different
Wider Runway-Style Platform
At 33-1/4 in between runways and 18-3/16 in runway width, the MR6.5K-38's deck gives more standing/working room across the platform than a narrow single-arm scissor lift.
Load-Bearing Flip-Up Ramp Extensions
The ramp extensions fold up out of the way when not needed and fold down to extend drive-on length — useful for lower-clearance or longer-wheelbase vehicles.
Dolly-Mounted Power Unit
Like the MR6K-48X, the power unit rides on its own dolly for full-lift portability rather than a fixed wall-mount station.
Single-Point Pneumatic Lock Release
One pneumatic release disengages the safety locks across the platform, simplifying the lowering sequence.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops wanting a wider working platform than a narrow scissor deck
- ✅ Facilities needing portable mid-rise lifting
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Vehicles over 6,500 lb
- ❌ Shops needing more than 38-39.5 in of lift height
